[Intro]
G A C D x2
[Verse 1]
G A C D
To the girl I knew in Sixth Form long ago
G A C D
It took me sixteen years or more to know
G A C D
That she probably didn't thank me for the songs that I wrote for her
G A C D
Well I wrote this one for me and looking back I think they all were
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
'Cause I grew up in a world
C G D
Where the tragic hero always gets the girl
C G
I set the scene, I wrote the script
Am D
And I handed her a leading role and she never wanted it
[Chorus]
G A C D
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
G A
To be dragged over hot coals
C D
To be slandered, to be used
G A C
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
D
And be the bravest, be the smartest
C D
The most deeply tortured artist
Em D C
Tell me who in their right mind would ever choose
G A C D
To be a muse
G A C D
[Verse 2]
G A C D
Well I wish for all the world I'd learned back then
G A C D
To not repeat the deeds of famous men
G A C D
Who took just one perspective 'cause it gave them a good villain
G A C D
Absolved them of their sins and in the process made a killing
[Pre-Chorus]
C G
Best be warned not to believe
C G D
This bleeding heart I wear upon my sleeve
C G
For all the pain it might imply
Am D
There's another one out there somewhere with no right of reply
[Chorus]
G A C D
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
G D
To be dragged over hot coals
C D
To be slandered, to be used
G D C
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
D
And be the bravest, be the smartest
C D
The most deeply tortured artist
Em D C
Tell me who in their right mind would ever choose
G A C D
To be a muse
G A C D
To be a muse
[Bridge]
C G
Yeah and maybe Stevie Nicks really drove him out his mind
Em D G C
But maybe Lindsey should have gone his own way too
D C G
And we'll never know the girl who wasted Dylan's precious time
A D
Or if he left her tangled up in blue
C
Well I guess they'd both have versions
D
But we all know just the one
G
And all I really know for certain
C
Is it made a damn good song
C
'Cause history's written by the victors
D
Yeah and art is made to last
G
And I dread the day I'll have to answer
C
For the songs of break-ups past
[Chorus]
G D C
Because no woman ever wants to be a muse
G D
To be dragged over hot coals
C D
To be slandered, to be used
G D C
So you can sing the world your inauthentic blues
D
And be the bravest, be the smartest
C D
The most deeply tortured artist
G D C
Yeah no woman ever wants to stand accused
G D
Of the crimes that you wrote for her
C D
While professing to adore her
G D
While disparaging her honour
C D
With all you projected on her
C D
While you revelled in the glory
C D
Of telling one side of the story
C D
Yeah no woman in this world would ever choose
G C D
To be a muse
[Outro]
G A
Yeah now I've looked at it both ways
C D
Don't believe a word I say
C D
And beware of anyone who ever views
G A C D
You as a muse
C D
Because no woman in this world would ever choose
G A C D
To be a muse
G A C D
